pseudo-psoetic 2

(this probably wouldn't make much sense even if you read the original first)


well crud. i
thought
he was gone
for good


hadn't seen him
for a year
or more

he used to
rummage around
my backyard
(and front)
about as long
as i can
remember



weird
there was plenty
of food around
last summer. i
guess he got
hurt
or
sick
or
something scared
him away

(?)


after a
while i stopped
feeding him

well no, not really
feeding him

just leaving out
table scraps
and stuff


anyway
must have
been monday

(oh, and he
dug through the
trashcans, too. i
should'a found
a lid

or something

)

or tuesday

remember


no
monday

he was sniffing
around
again
like he had never
left


no, he hadn't grown
actually. i
just forgot
how big
he was

and

mangy


looks hungry too. i
gotta be
careful going out

he's growling

hasn't learned any
new tricks

or really
changed much


but his face
is still
as friendly
as ever
